buildings to build to improve money

Phil... My French is really, really bad... Your English is pretty good. So I'll try and pass along a few things until the French speaking players arrive.

Have you read throgh the strategies fourm? Second, have a look at post #7 in this thread http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GF&id=144097#144544

Third, from you description I think you are spending too much money at the start of the game. You must stop spending before you go to far into the red. You must also reduce the tax rate to keep morale up so that you can get tax money so you can build improvements to keep morale up so you can incearse taxes... and round and round we go.

Here's something for you to try...

At the start of the game...
48% to 50% taxes, spending at 100%
Once the planet rush is finished, start your tech research until you get to diplo trans and habitat, then start building soil enhancement, habitat, news network, etc. Then go back to tech reasearch.

Watch your morale closely. When you see it start to fall below 100% on your best planet, reduce taxes a little bit. You may also need to reduce your speding a little bit.

When you build improvements you can then increase your taxes until the planet morale starts to drop again.

Freighters: a lot d' argent et generated du trade
Banks, Economic Exchange: directement increasent d'income du tax
Habitat Improvent, Soil Enrichment: raising le PQ generarates plus d'argent aussi

I will respond in french:

population, moral et taxes sont très liés. C'est la population qui payent les taxes. Donc plus tu as de population, plus tu as d'argent. Par contre plus tu montes les taxes, plus le moral baisse. Et plus le moral baisse, moins il y a de personnes qui payent.
Augmenter le moral permet d'augmenter les taxes.

Les projets suivants font partie des premiers que tu peux avoir et ont une influence direct ou indirect sur le moral et les taxes:
Soil enrichment (Enrichissement du sol): augmente la qualite de la planet de 10%. Augmente par conséquent le moral sur la planete (plus il y a de la place et plus les personnes sont heureuses)
Habitat improvement (Amélioration de l'habitat): augmente la qualité de la planet de 10%.
Entertainment network (réseaue de loisir): augmente le moral de la planete
Banking center (centre bancaire): augment les taxes générés par la planete (sans changer le moral).

Un bon ordre de construction est:
Soil improvement / banking center / habitat improvement / entertainement network.

Si tu as d'autres questions ....

In the late game you will also want to have Stadium, Teleporters, Stock Market, Economic Exchange and Terraforming.

A pity you cant save buildorders or put thing in them you havent reasearched yet.

THINKS for all: english and french.
if i understand , i don't have to spend too quickly my money and look for my moral on the planets to receive money:good is the moral better is the money i receive from my people.all depense one time after other and prevent falling in "red". is that right?
the other question:does i have to spend many colon ships to colonize other planets quickly because they cost to buy? :notsure:
is it the first and second things to do or better improve my population of the planets i have? thinks to for the answers.
phil

First thing is to grab all the good yellow and purple star planets. You can do that by setting your government spending to 100%, and setting your military spend slider to the top and setting the other 2 sliders (research and social) to 0. If you want to nudge up one of Research or Social, you can, but you want to be producing colony ships every 2 to 3 turns (exactly how fast will generally depend on your map settings. It's more important on smaller maps to produce very fast then on larger maps).

Sometimes, I will take a break for 2 turns and swap over my colony ship building to soil enhancement to bump up my primary world/earth and then swap back to making colony ships.

Does that help? You need to grab all the good planets you can in the beginning, because that's what the AI is doing, and it won't wait on you. Then you can concentrate on improving what you have.

You can find lots of help with strategy in the strategy forum. If you are looking for getting into the various details of how people do what the do.

Try this...

On earth on the before you start you first turn; set spending to 100%, set Military to 100%, set taxes to 48-50%. Build colony ships on earth. This will give you 1 colony ship every 2-3 turns. Hunt for planets. After the first year or two, you can start spending on researh.

Do not buy colony ships if you can build them. Sometimes it is ok but do not buy all the time.

In the beginning only colonize yellow stars.

Hope this helps. If any of our French speaking players see this perhaps you could explain better.

En supplément, tu peux aussi ajouter des modules aux starbases (doivent être situés dans les secteurs qui passent par des trade route), ce qui génère des revenues supplémentaires.

Pour les bases spatiales, la remarque ne s'applique pas pendant les premiers tours. Lors des premiers tours de jeux, le but est de coloniser le maximum d'étoiles jaunes et violette. Une seule planete suffit pour reclamer le système. Si tu joues dans un univers abondant, colonise à chaque fois la meilleur planete d'un système.
Les planetes de classes 13 et 14 ne sont pas utiles au début du jeu. Elles coûtent même de l'argent à entretenir.

Tant que tu n'est pas dans le rouge, tu peux dépenser plus que tu ne gagnes. C'est même conseillé pour coloniser avant l'AI (qui sait où sont les bonnes étoiles). Ce que tu peux faire au début du jeux avec l'argent de départ. Fait cependant attention: l'AI semble aimer t'extorquer de l'argent (sinon, c'est la guerre) quand tu es dans le rouge.

thinks for all. i am sorry , i don't understand: "Build colony ships on earth.Do not buy colony ships if you can build them. Sometimes it is ok but do not buy all the time" de damoose citizen. what does it means ?, we can only buy colony ships . and it costs many money every month if i cannot pay all the sum. please help me!

Philippe,

Sorry for the confusion... You are correct. Do not buy colony ships. It costs too much money.

Yeah, do not buy them, build them from your starting planet. Buying them puts you in the red too early, esepcially when building them only takes a few turns.

The meaning is the following:
if you set your spend rate to 100% and your military spending to 100%, you will be able to produce colony ship every 3 month (the first will be in april).If you rush buy it, it will appears in february.
Does it worth the extra spending: no. There may be a few exceptions, but it would be very specific to layout of the galaxy.

thinks to yor answer. a little question more: how i do to build colony ships or other ships ?on what i have to click on? it is not on the buy procedure isn'it? can you explain me ?thinks.
phil

Just wait, if you aren't buying it it will be built automatically when the time it lists under the ship or building ends.

~SDC~

Simply select (in planetary screen) the current ship in order that it appears in the bottom central screen with a purchase button. It is the same mechanism than for improvement.

THINKS i think its ok now .i'll try to beat the game!!
phil

Man I was thinking the very same thing when I first started playing this game! My build order for the key buildings is always the same (when available). That would be an awesome addition.

I am sorry i don't understand what you write! if you can explain? thinks .
A pity you cant save buildorders or put thing in them you havent reasearched yet.?????
phil

Phillippe,

It was a comment on the user interface.

It means...

It would be good to list all the buildings you want to build in the Mr.Kolaz queue even if you have not researched the technolgies to build them yet.

This comment is not important to win the game.

Not a problem, Philippe. Happy to help.
